I drew this when Odontochelys, the oldest known fossil turtle, was described a few years ago. Odontochelys must have lived in coastal seas. Before Odontochelys was discovered, many scientists thought ancestral turtles were land dwellers, in part because the former oldest turtle fossil, Proganochelys, was seemingly terrestrial. The current fossil champ gives its respectful condolences to the former titlist. Get involved with turtles at www.turtlesurvival.org
